The
history of the building,
that you can see begins in XIII century. - from location of Cracow
and setting up the borders of a Market Place (Rynek). Its names
"Gehanowska" and "Pod słońcem" are in relation to a goldsmith
family by the name of Gehan owning this house in XV i XVI century.
The successive owners were: B. Boethmer, K. Helbing, Korycinski
family until 1641, W. Briganti. In XVIII century this appartament-house
belonged to K. Woliński, the founder of Jews converting chantry.
In 1774 the house "Pod Słońcem" was put up for auction and bought
by the famous doctor Jan Szaster. After his death his family sold
the dispensary in 1812 to J. Sawiczewski. At the begining of a
XX century Remigiusz Wiskida acquired this appartament-house from
Sawiczewski's descendants. Thanks to him the building owes reconstruction
and the current shape (according to F. Maczynski's scheme). The
main cross-section of the buliding are it's cellars. For we can
find here the oryginal, XIIIth century threshold, actually under
the Rynek's plate as well as aisles with gothic portals until
renaissance times (cloakroom portal) The uncovered element until
today is the second level of the basement. |
